Dozens of people and an Oasis cover band have made the most of bad weather that’s left them stuck insideGreat Britain’s highest altitude pub, the Tan Hill Inn, for three days.
The group woke up Saturday morning to three feet of snow, which had approached the height of the pub’s windows, according to theBBC.
“They’ve formed quite a friendship … like a big family is the best way I can describe it,” Townsend told the news agency.
So far there has been at least one medical emergency, which prompted mountain rescuers to brave through the weather and provide assistance to a guest, according to the BBC.
Thankfully,libationsaren’t in short supply, as guest Martin Overton told the BBC there was “plenty of beer available.”

“Oh it’s a lovely war! We’re still stranded @thetanhillinn_ Hope it rains soon!” Noasis wrote onInstagramof their situation on Sunday.
Due to the Tan Hill Inn’s location — the pub is 1,732 feet above sea level — staffers are accustomed to being stuck there when storms come, according to the AP. They’ve gotten creative to keep folks entertained, setting up movie screenings, quizzes andkaraoke.

“I’m quite chilled about being stranded, it’s quite exciting but we’re missing our son who is with his nana,” guest Stephanie Overton told the BBC. “I am wondering how long we will be here for though.”
The pub hopes everyone will be able to depart on Monday after roads are cleared, but Townsend told the AP, “One lady actually said ‘I don’t want to leave.'”
